PRIMER: May 28, 29 & 30

RR Primer for 2011 is officially canceled. I would encourage anyone who was interested in prototyping @ Primer to attend Scorched Nuts in Athens, OH which will only be held a couple weeks later: http://www.scorchednuts.org

or if you’re antsy to do something Memorial Day Weekend, take your equipment to the Big Arb’s Campground in East Rochester, OH for that weekend and prototype your build there.

Primer is a pre-event providing people who have never been to RR a chance to meet the people involved in their natural habitat as well as get a flavor of the RR event. It’s also an opportunity for people building projects to prototype them in an environment more primitive than they will experience at RR.

This year’s RR PRIMER will last for three days and two nights giving people with projects more time to prototype and test and visitors more time and more opportunities to visit and experience a taste of this intensely participatory experiment in preparation, decentralization, respect, responsibility and uncertainty!

PRIMER is being held at the same location is was last year:

Crystal Springs Campground
31478 Bagley Rd
North Ridgeville, OH 44039
May 29, 30 and 31, 2010
(Memorial Day weekend)

Our entrance is to the right of the brown building immediately ahead of you as you leave Bagley road.

A sign will be visible during the day.

DO NOT DRIVE OVER 5MPH ONCE YOU LEAVE BAGLEY ROAD

There are children at play all over the campground!

Admission is $15, payable at the gate (found to the immediate right of the building that stands in front of you as you leave Bagley road and enter Crystal Springs.).

It’s no coincidence that PRIMER is being held Memorial Day weekend, the same weekend that RR used to be held in the house. Come join us even if you aren’t planning on camping with us. We’d love to see you and think you’ll enjoy participating!

There is no electricity or water in the area where PRIMER is held, making it even more interesting and fun. You will have to bring your own supplies. We strongly encourage you to buy your supplies, lumber, electrical doo-dads, refreshments, food and any last-minute items from local North Ridgeville merchants. SUPPORT THE LOCAL ECONOMY!

Prototypers!

Participants building projects at PRIMER may have their materials delivered on Friday May 28th. You must be present when materials are delivered and you may store your materials in the “pavilion”. If you are storing materials, you must keep your materials together and label them clearly as belonging to you.

You must supply your own electricity. There is no electricity available at the campground.

We look forward to seeing you this year!
